have been composing another message but have not sent it, you are asked to

this. Sending the message marks the @samp{*mail*} buffer ``unmodified,''
which avoids the need for confirmation when @kbd{C-x m} is next used.

determine the full name. The variable @code{mail-complete-style}
controls whether to insert the full name, and what style to use, as in
@code{mail-from-style} (@pxref{Mail Headers}). (If your window

-Emacs command as @kbd{@key{ESC} @key{TAB}}.)

the local users' names plus your personal mail aliases. You can
